Starbucks - Trenta- Why

So Starbucks feels the need to offer a 31 ounce drink - yes just shy of a quart. I'm not sure who this is marketed to and why anyone would need a 31 ounce coffee, but hey.
So a 31 ounce Cafe Mocha with milk has - are you ready - 561 calories, 23 grams of fat and 68 grams of carbohydrate - mostly from sugar. As many calories as a big Mac. Have a 31 ounce Cafe Vanilla Frappachino and there goes 600 calories , about 1/3 of your calories for the day. Sounds like a belly ache to me. A Cafe Latte is a better choice if you are going with the skim milk - 174 calories and 25 grams of carbohydrate- the carbs are from the milk, unless you add some sugar. I do not want to think about how much caffeine is going on here. Add the jitters to the belly ache.
